			==Historical background==
			In the early oral traditions of the [[Upanishads]], the ''guru–shishya'' relationship had evolved into a fundamental component of Hinduism. The term "Upanishad" derives from the Sanskrit words ''"upa"'' (near), ''"ni"'' (down) and ''"ṣad"'' (to sit) — so it means "sitting down near" a spiritual teacher to receive instruction. The relationship between [[Krishna]] and [[Arjuna]] in the [[Bhagavad Gita]] portion of the [[Mahabharata]], and between [[Rama]] and [[Hanuman]] in the [[Ramayana]], are examples. In the Upanishads, gurus and disciples appear in a variety of settings (e.g. a husband answering questions about immortality; a teenage boy being taught by [[Yama (Hinduism)\|Yama]], Hinduism's Lord of Death). Sometimes the sages are women, and the instructions may be sought by kings.

			In the [[Vedas]], the knowledge of [[Brahman]] (''brahmavidya'') is communicated from guru to ''shishya'' by [[oral lore]].

The '''guru–shishya tradition''', or '''''parampara''''' ("lineage"), denotes a succession of teachers and disciples in traditional [[Vedic period|Vedic culture]] and [[Indian religions|religions]] such as [[Hinduism]], [[Jainism]], [[Sikhism]] and [[Buddhism]] (Tibetan and Zen tradition). Each parampara belongs to a specific [[sampradaya]], and may have its own [[akhara]]s and [[gurukula]]s. It is the tradition of spiritual relationship and mentoring where teachings are transmitted from a ''[[guru]]'' "teacher" ({{lang-sa|गुरु}}) to a ''śiṣya'' "disciple" ({{lang-sa|शिष्य}}) or ''chela''(Hinduism)|agamic]], [[architectural]], [[music]]al or [[spirituality|spiritual]], is imparted through the developing relationship between the guru and the disciple. It is considered that this relationship, based on the genuineness of the guru, and the respect which is not based on age or how old one looks, commitment, devotion and obedience of the student, is the best way for subtle or advanced knowledge to be conveyed. The student eventually masters the knowledge that the guru embodies.

==Etymology==
''Guru–shishya'' means "succession from [[guru]] to disciple".
